Murray McDonald and Ted E. Johnson, Jr., December 1, 2011

I enjoyed my visit with Murray & Juanita (Marsh) McDonald — Murray is a very young 92 years old. He and Juanita were kind enough to help me identify some missing names from the November 13, 1955 McDonald Reunion held at the old Halifax pavilion in Port Orange. Edward & Rose (Barber) McDonald is Murray's GGrandparents and my GGGrandparents.
